Playing the Waiting Game

Luke is patiently (more or less!) waiting to get his prosthetic leg. He has waited a couple of weeks as his leg was shrinking. Now he is on hold until they figure out what to do about some random bone growth in his leg. During his final leg surgery they put a hole through the end of his femur to attach the leg muscles to. They believe some material seeped out of the hole and some bone tissue has developed from that material. The orthotic people are going to be checking with the leg surgeons to see what may need to be done. So it is going to be another wait and see.
